PROBABLY SWEDEN 1640 - 1672
A VERY EARLY AND HIGHLY INTERESTING MANUSCRIPT MAP
OF AN IMPORTANT ECONOMIC AND MINING DISTRICT OF
FALUN IN SWEDEN.
To the left is the following note: “Mit 12 Separate Risse, über die
Königl. Schwedische die zu gehörige Kupfer=berge.”
Our map seems to be a replica to the map from 1640 with the same title
now in Riksarkivet, Sweden with the archive number “U.5”, but our
copy seems to have been partly updated and completed in 1672. These
changes are done in a different pen than rest of the map.
Provenance: From the collection of Duke of York, collector’s label on
the reverse. Sold in auction at Sotheby’s May or July 1827. The lion and
the crown are symbols of the Kingdome of England. We are grateful to
Göran Bäärnhielm for providing useful information about this map.
